Safely Buy Oralair ( Grass Pollen Extract ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Oralair is a medication used for the treatment of grass pollen allergies.

Oralair is an allergen extract indicated as immunotherapy for the treatment of grass pollen-induced allergic rhinitis, which is characterized by symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, and nasal congestion.

The mechanism of action of Oralair involves exposing the body to small amounts of the allergen extract, which helps the immune system become desensitized to the specific allergens present in grass pollen. This desensitization process can reduce the severity of allergic reactions and symptoms when exposed to grass pollen in the future.

Use and Dosage

Your doctor may perform an allergy skin test or blood test to make sure you are allergic to the specific pollen contained in Oralair.

Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

Your doctor may want to give your first dose of this medicine in a clinic setting. You should be watched closely for at least 30 minutes after taking your first dose, to make sure you do not have an allergic reaction.
